Catarrh to CONSUMPTION.

Catarrh in its destructive force stands next to and
undoubtedly leads on to consumption. 1t is there
fore singular that those afflicted with this fearful
disease should not make it the object of their lives
to rid themselves of it. Deceptive remedies CON
cocted 10y ignorant pretendeps to medical knowledge
have weakened the confidence of the great ority
of sufferers in all advertised remedies. They he
come resigned to life of misery rather than tor
ture themselves with doubtful palliatves
But this will never do. Catarrh must he met at
every stage and combated with all our might. In
many cases the disease has assumed dangerous
symptoms. The bones and cartilage of the nose the
organs of hearing. of seeing and of tasting affected
to he useless, the uvula elongated, the throat
so inhamed and irrtated as to produce a constant
and distressing cough.
SANFoRDs RADICAL CURE meets every phase of
Catarrh, from a simple head cold to the most loath-
some and destructive stages. 1t is local and const
tutional. Instant in relieving permanent in curing
safe economical and never-failing.
Each package contains one bottle of the RADICAL
CURE, one box CATARRHAL SOLVENT and an I'M

A Russian Fable.

Here is story, young people, that is
worth remembering. There is lesson
to be learned from it. The hero of the
story had been sent across the ocean
to be educated, and there " had mex
plicable things explained to him " and
had returned greater Ounce than ever.
Mad from metaphysical study, ponder
ing on the old subject, seeking the be-
ginning of all beginnings, he was ascend
ing into the clouds when, as he pro-
ceeded, he stumbled and fell into pit.
His father, who happened to be with
him, ran to fetch a rope with which to
rescue Wisdom from the abyss. In the
pit and reflected what could he the rea-
son of his stumbling into it. "The
cause was probably an earthquake,
and my rapid fall into the pit may be
accounted for by central attraction and
the pressure of the air." The father
came back with the rope. Z" Here" said
he, g is rope for you; take hold of it
and will pull you out. Hold fast'
No, do not pull yet; tell me, my
friend and the student began to rave,
as usual" what manner of thing is a
rope?" The father was not learned
man, but he possessed common sense,
and, without regarding the scientific side
of the question, replied, . A rope is
thing for pulling out people who have
fallen into pit" $ For such pur-
pose some other instrument should be
invented" said the learned youth, con-
tinuing his own mode of talking, and
so this is a rope" Time is neces-
sary for what you propose" replied the
father, and it is lucky we have the
tope here at hand.n And what is
rime?n recommended the son. " All!
time is a thing | shall not lose with
fool; remain where you are,' said the
father, " till | come again. "-.Selected,

A Fourth Of July Record.

4 Was wide-awake little boy,
L Who rose at the break Of day;
y Were the minutes he took to dress,
- Then he was off and away.
- We're his leaps when he cleared the stairs
- Although they were steep and high;
4 Was the number which caused his haste,
II Because II was Fourth of July
= Were his pennies which went to buy
- A package of crackers red;
q Were the matches which touched them oG
u And then-he was back in bed.
= Big plasters he had to wear
To cure his fractures sore;
& We're the visits the doctor made

~ In sorrow and pain; but then,

The Land of the Tomorrow.

The faithful heart through time and tears
Still keeps its course. nor dreams of veeringi
The heaviest pillows of the years
But mark the haven that is nearing;
The waves may dash and thunders crash,
Yet from them twill more firmness borro W,
The peal and roar but point the shore
of that blest land of the tomorrow
Then when the toisome journeys done
And death has crowned his faiths endeavor,
lie rests within the haven won,
Where peace her sceptre sways forever;
No more the years with strife and tears
TO him can bring thought of sorrow,
For griefs sad face commands no place
within the land of the tomorrow.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 26.-The Cbur1er-JOurnui this
morning publishes a comprehensive and valuable
review OF the leaf-tobaccO situation, showing the

tuckyproduces 81 percent OF the total eaftobaccO
crop OF the United states, and Kentucky, Indiana,
Illinois, Tennessee Ohio and Missouri produces 1:s
per cent Of the total crop OF the United states,
1t Will be seen that the summary Is OF
general interest. The following are the main
points OF the article: The Western leaf crop roots
up 600 600 pounds, 626 per cent OF recent aver
ages and the Eastern leaf crop ~ OOO, 900 pounds,
or % per cent decrease. The Eastern and West
ern leaf crops. and all the market stocks OF the
United states, make up 360,Oo0,OOO pounds
against 59l, 5000 year ago, and 575, OOO, 600
two years ago. The supply from the new
crops ana market stock falls al, OOO, coo
pounds below the average taken Tor do
nestle and foreign consumption. while In

pounds and in 1885 a surplus OF 24,ooO,OoO The
western hurley crop Is 81, 600 900 pounds and the
